September was still a warm month, and I am about ready for some cooler temperatures. I attended some great end of summer concerts, including Sting, Squeeze and the Psychedelic Furs. I traveled again. My friend, Anita and I rented a mountain cabin for a few days. It was beautiful and peaceful,

This was a very momentous month for me. A major life change - I RETIRED !!! I could have retired 5 years ago will full benefits, but I just wasn't ready and honestly, I enjoyed my job (for the most part) and the people I worked with. But I finally took the plunge after a LOT (and I mean a LOT) of prayer.
I traveled a lot too - I was in 8 different states this month! I visited mom, and my friend Susan and I took a trip to Graceland, but decided to see a few other things while we were out, we stopped by the National Quilt Musuem and Laura Ingalls and Almonzo Wilder's home. That was so cool! I would love to travel out that way again. There was so much to see and we since so much was kind of "on the spur of the moment", we didn't really get to spend as much time as I would have liked in some of the places we visited. We had really planned for Graceland and boy, we had a blast!
We had record heat this month - whew!! The highest day, was 106 ° F. I just don't tolerate heat very well, but it was worth it.

July was a busy month. My mom's oldest sister turned 88! I worked hard to finish up the fiscal year end and clean out my office. I had a surprise retirement party, went to see Wicked (again) and took a water color painting class.

I have no idea why....but while I was brushing my hair this morning, a little poem we used to say as kids popped into my head...who remembers this?
Coca Cola went to town
Pepsi Cola knocked him down
7-Up picked him up
& Took him to Dr. Pepper.
Whew, I have been busy....I haven't even had time to post my June Project Life pages and July is almost over!!
